So, it turns out...Ronald Kelly does Christmas as well as he does Halloween! I can always count on him to give classic horror with a unique spin, while still managing to feel traditional and timeless.

I was super thrilled to find that Mister Glow-bones makes an appearance in this anthology ! I didn't realize that the cover skeleton is the ol' luminous boney boogeyman himself....although I probably should have.

I definitely recommend this read any time of year....Tis the season to be scary!! ( )

This was a very cool holiday theme collection of stories by author, Ronald Kelly and I can say that I enjoyed all of them!

I am going to give a very small cryptic taste for each story within these pages without giving away spoilers.

Jingle Bones - A stepfather gets his just rewards for Christmas.

The Skating Pond - Skating on a frozen pond is more hazardous than you think!

Depravity Road - An isolated farm is home to a serial killer - a family of four are lucky to be alive.

Heirlooms - What really resides in heirloom ornaments on a Christmas tree?

The Winds Within - Eyes are for more than to see with.

Then Came A Woodsman - A hero comes in all forms.

As for Me, My Little Brain - The tables are flipped on Santa Claus as he ends up getting a surprise.

Beneath the Branches - Be careful what you buy from someone on the road as you don't know what you will bring home with you.

Papa's Exile - A tree gives a little girl a surprise that she will never forget.

The Peddler's Journey - Sometimes ghost stories turn out to be true.

Loved all the stories and though some of them were twisted, they still had the right "jingle" for the holiday season! Five stars for this collection!
